y*omhe Wa'hinprton Ci v fifczet'e. j GEORGIA CLAIM. t The elaim of Georgia upon the Vnifcd States, as urged by her Rt ores nfatives aw! Governor, for the cxtiaMion of th* Indian title within the limits of the *tate, lias, in ev- i <xrnl of the partisan prims of the day, Vfn grossly miirepi evented. These prints e deavor to rnnke an impres sion n the public mind, that Ger finds fault with the general go -7c ment for civilizing tbe Indians, wlii’h is not the fa* t. Tbe follow ing is a correct view of the ‘-ase. Bv a Convention in 1802, the U. 3<a*es in virtue of a cession of an ’ immense lirdy f land by O* * gia, 3on*raited to extinguish hi-1 dian fille wMiin the state. The com plaint of Georgia is. that the gene ral government has failed to comply with this contract; and not only fail ed to comply, bat made permanent grants of land *n the state to I jdians whose title the United States had ‘■ontraofed to extinguish. Nay, • 3>*ie. All the measures of the Se cretary of War have tended to per petuate the residence of those Indi ft “i within the limits of Georgia, as freeholders. The reader will per reive, therefore, that the complaint of Georgia i* not, ihat the United 9 ate*i civilize the Indians, hut that the* *vili2r hin in Georgia, con trory to the c ntruct of the i (inven tion. The Georgians -vish them to be civilized on U ritorial lands of the United States, where the gene ra’ government, having exclusive jr- ivdiction. may • ivilize them with a prospect oi permanency. The course which YT. t'alhoun. pndee whose contr *1 the I diam De portment is, has ptirsued in rtiis af. fair, is the strangest imaginable. He has tint or !y neglected to arry the provisions of ihe Convention W*th Georgia info effect when op portunity offered, but hehasoppos. ed ‘he fulfil memos them, hv sup porting flic demands of the Indians t* remain i Georgia; and Inst win ter he brought 8 number of the eh?cf to M ashierrton, iated W'th them, in a diplomatic form, as the *e£#n<§of a sovereign and inde pendent power, and count enacted them r a memorial so Cnri?*e** in opposition to the claim ofGe gla and the stipulations of ihe of 1802. ft is believed that Mr. Calhoun Wa* i*fl'terced to this u justifi >Hle method -'f proceeding hy considera tions co'irely sclfi !. H* wisbcd.it is thoij;dif. fnshew the Georgians that he was the person to whom they Bholdd ? vnk for an extinguishment of the t-’dian title, so convince them that he old either prevent or ef fe t he lesired object, and that, if I hey w ; 'hed to succeed, they most •uppov’ him in his political v>ews ard mrattires. That an officer of V e general government should labor t*> indu e the United States to vio late at> !emn engagement, so the disadvantage of one of the states of the Union, is monstrous, hu true* m-G - Jackson, if is unde si u ni, pae'l* paled in this s- a dilou# scheme of Mr. (’alli ‘u **: And it is Del 8 H surprising that the repre ser'er ve> and executive authority of Georgia have with warmth, re muntratcd against such an utter disregard of ihe public faith, ealeu latcd at oner to east a stigma on the hcr.,-ter of the General Gov ernment, a id to alienate from i the nfc* ■•♦ion* of the patriotic state of Go^gia. It it, doublets, deeply to be la melted that the principle of eivili -2a<i-m should he so far repugnant to that of the huoter state. as to com pel the Indians, time after time, to relinquish their 1 nds. But what is founded is oature canno* be al ter* and by cyman reg: lations. fn every thi ig in creation the weaker principle t?i es way so the stronger. Among a barbarous people, supvTi or individual strength overpowers the inferior. In civilized life, the superior strength of the community puts down the comparatively inferi or strength of the individual. Ci tiUzation, being the more power fui prin ipie, because it cherish* n gceaier number of hu.nao be 8 * eradicates tbe hunter state; lb* contest foe dominion *® b> the animosity of difl>r*nt ra-es of men. I. is so It ip in the or dee es nature; and therefore, with flue a: quivs'-eoee in de wisdom ami goodaon of Providence, we are l> suppose that i* deoessar ‘h so. I AH that the white men can and , is 10 foften tbe Uistioy of tbe Indians In their Mine. If tbey c&n be en lightened, christianized, and ivili zrd, so much the better. But long experience has shewn, ilia*, with the North Ameri-an Indians at least, this is of diffi ult execution aud doubtful issue. At any rate, after having cleared so vast a portion o! oor country from the savages, after having, for half a century, pursued the policy of extinguishing tbe In dian titles to land and transplanting the Aborigines from one situation to another, and when the general government is still punning Ve same policy in all othtr stales and territories, it is not for the United States, or rather for Mr Ualtioun and Gen. Jackson, <o deny to Geor gia. upon the faith of a bind! g con tract, what is conceded without con •rad, so every other section of tbe Union and : dependencies. Public Opinion w Penney r jiiia.
